ALLEY CAT STUDIOS PRESENTS AN INTERACTIVE ART INSTALLATION OF ‘THEIR STORIES’
August 12 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Alley Cat Studios and Orchid’s True Blue present a participatory art exhibit featuring the Poppy Quilt and an installation by artists from the newly formed for the Most Beautiful collective. Community members are invited to contribute to the exhibit at the Alley Cat Studios’ art studio and gallery space at 821 Main Street in Evanston to collectively memorialize and honor the martyrs of Gaza and tell Their Stories. Exhibit hours: M 7-10PM, T/W/Th 7-9PM, F 10AM-12PM, Sat/Sun 12-4PM, suggested donation $10.
Local Palestinian artists have set up an installation of items that reflect their beautiful land and home, including photos of their ancestors to show their deep roots and connection to Palestine. Along with the exhibit, there will be screenings of short stories and testimonies from their ancestors, readings from their martyrs, and the creation of memorials to add to the growing, month-long interactive art installation.
A closing ceremony memorial will take place at Alley Cat Studios, 6-9p, August 25, honoring our martyrs through the cultivated art grown through this interactive installation. Tickets available at
https://AlleyCatStudios.org/events. ‘Their Stories’ will then move on to a new location to be announced at a later date.
